First, the world of RWBY: Ice Queendom is NOT an alternate universe or a reboot. While the story is set in the same universe as the main show, we’re calling it “canon adjacent”. The new show is incredibly faithful to the original, while also taking some fun new liberties to switch things up a bit. The first two episodes of RWBY: IQ will recap V1 - V2 before kicking things off into a bold new adventure, full of new characters, new settings, new surprises, and (of course) new Grimm. Not only that, but you’ll also see a ton of familiar faces, too. While changes made to the existing RWBY content are not technically considered canon, it's a story that absolutely could exist alongside other RWBY content -- we just wanted the Japan team to be able to have as much fun with it as they wanted. Now as to what the story of the show is all about….well you’ll just have to wait and see! Source: https://roosterteeth.com/g/post/67aca396-e2db-4dcc-a687-d7b4cae326a7 |
| I think the continued truth of that statement depends heavily on whether this does well. If the changes made are well-received, it will definitely have further sequels set in its version of Remnant without any mandate to hew closely to how RT did things(thus becoming an AU by definition). There's also the question of how much value Discovery will see in the original series. If this does continue and they see fit to axe the original, we could end up seeing a very odd case of reboot-by-default. |

I like this outlook a ton, my heart kind of sank when I saw the words 'canon adjacent' which more or less implies side stories. Side stories aren't a bad thing, but I was kind of hoping Queendom took the world and lore of Rwby and kind of ran in a familiar but different direction from the web series. |

| "Canon adjacent" in which sense? Is Equestria Girls canon adjacent for My Little Pony FIM? Because it's totally is a spin off based in alternative universe where some of the MCs go from time to time...and so far Ice Queendom is giving me Equestria Girls vibes (going through a magical mirror an all). |
| just hope for the best outcome whatever it is, episodes 1-2 being a recap of vol 1-2 is good. But , I kinda disappointed because we will see some major changes on V3 onwards. Because I really love V3 of OG series. Well again, hope for the best. |

AnIFoRLiFe said: Does that mean I have watch the american one's before this?? Maybe not, since they will explain the basic premise in two episodes. And if you like the world and the characters you can start the original show for more details and for the continuation of the story after s2 (s3 is the best season anyway). |

| "canon adjacent" Sounds lazy but seeing Japan having fun with it is all that matters. |
AnIFoRLiFe said: Does that mean I have watch the american one's before this?? So little happens in the first 2 volumes that I can guarantee the recap episodes will cover everything far better than the original show did. So, don't bother, you should be able to jump right in. alshu said: "Canon adjacent" in which sense? Is Equestria Girls canon adjacent for My Little Pony FIM?

It seems to mean that, essentially, RWBY will be canon to IQ, but IQ will not officially be canon to RWBY, if that makes sense. To elaborate, I believe the term is mean to mean that it'll be a storyline that could realistically be slotted in alongside the canon storyline, but not one that'll ever be referenced within the show proper as a part of its history. Sort of like a diverging timeline, only it'll then turn back and line up with the series proper, causing no apparent changes with the established storyline. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| I hope they make an original rwby story. Rooster teeth RWBY becomes trash after Monty Oum died. I even quit watching it after . It was one of my must watch anime x cartoons before. Now, it belong to a dumpster. |

| It looks like the series may want to jump into the good action parts as soon as it can seeing that the first 2 volumes are gotten out of the way so fast. I’m not sure what ‘canon adjacent’ means though, can anyone enlighten me? |

| Actually this is not "canon adjacent", more of "alternative retelling", like in "some minor changes to the canon"...so far. And yes, this is noob friendly, you can start watching it with zero knowledge of RWBY. |

Seraphim-Sensei said: It's allot of volume 2 and start of 3 as well. For example, I doubt we'll see much of cinder with them covering her face as that all comes to a climax in volume 3, but we'll see. Guess its not surprising, with how incredibly rushed the first 3 episodes felt. EDIT: Episode 3 ends were volume 1 finishes, so I'm not sure it did include any of volume 2 or 3 content? |

SunlitSonata said: Yeah, now that I think of it, only Volume 1 is covered (albeit in a condensed format) while it barely even touched Volume 2 at all. I would say that the information we got was vague until the episodes are released, which did not happen. So I would say that it's only Volume 1 that got adapted majority, then branched off on its own story.KANLen09 said: Take Episodes 1 and 2, which are condensed versions of Volumes 1 and 2. Episode 3 onwards is its own unique thing. The bulk of episodes 1-3 is a condensed rewrite of Volume 1, with new scenes being either to flesh out character motivations or to introduce their Nightmare Grimm plot point for later use. Volume 2 isn't covered here at all and the ending of Episode 3 suggests a massive deviation for whatever's left in the remaining 9 episodes. |
